Top Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting accounts suitable for different sites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your website, you must estimate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Perks

The most relevant alternative for small size web portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which decreases the overall cost per user critically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one host to another, providing different amounts of data storage and web traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy an account that will include the features your web page actually demands. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Hepsia, offer a vast collection of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business websites that even come with pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a less powerful account and you require more resources, moving to a more powerful plan takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Weaknesses

A drawback of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Some websites, particularly online storefronts, require software applications to be installed on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting account, you can activate solely software platforms that do not require root-level access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that require server root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms typically give root privileges and can be restarted through a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting plans comprise different features depending on what the web hosting company has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting package has guaranteed disk storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be boosted for short spans of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to administer as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be utilized by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, certain hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated hosting services where they execute dedicated web server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.

Before You Choose...

Opting for the top hosting package is essential as it can influence the proper performance of a web site. Prior to settling on an account, compare the pros and cons, review thoroughly all the prerequisites for the web page to work properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
